FAR EAST ATHLETES

Big Sporting Boom Now On in
Various Oriental Countries.
Interest In American Games In China
Has Caused Demand for Native
Amateur Athletic Association
Skating Popular.
Athletes front China, .lapau, the
Philippines and other far Kastern
countries may be contenders for hon
ors at the seventh Olympiad, to bu
held ut Antwerp next August, and for
a certainty will be formidable con
tenders at succeeding Olympiads, so
keen has become the Interest fostered
by the V. M. C. A. hi these countries.
In I'hlna, particularly, the Interest In
American athletics has caused a de
mand to come fiom nil parts of this
great new republic for a native nu
tlonal amateur athletic association.
It. A. Leake, physical director for
the "Y" ut rooehow, China, reports
that "the need for this has grown
durlpg tho Inst few years, owing to In
tersectlonal athletics and China's par
ticipation In the far Kastern Olym
pics, held at Manila. On thu occasion
of tho assembling of the Chinese team
of more than one hundred picked men
at Manila, It was decided to make a
start toward organizing n federation.
A committee was appointed to draft
and present such a constitution ami
by-laws. This has been done, ami It
has been distributed for correction and
criticism. Tho completion of the or
ganization certainly will he effected
during thu. coming year."
A great rivalry In American ath
letics has sprung up between Chlun
mill Japan since the Chinese athletes
outpointed the Japanese In thu far
Kastern Olympics last slimmer, al
though tho meet was won by thu Phil
ippine Islanders,
Skating and skiing have become pojv
ular In Japan, and, although that coun
try Is called tho Land of tho Cherry
Illossnnis, parts of It have heavy falls
of snow and seeral weeks of splendid

hint from Japan, and an Oriental
Johnnie Nllssnn may appear on a sport
program In the not distant future. The

"pop" aro rapidly being uctmlroil by
tho far Kastern athletes, who aro get
ting down to a real training basis,
Hasebttll, football, ami basketball, In

parts of China. John Hrudshaw, physi
cal director of tho "Y" nt Amoy, China,
writes: "Tho basketball lenguo 1ms

Plan Discussed for Two or Three-
Round Bouts as Intermission Events
Moses King Will Have
Charge of Classes.
The popularity which boxing enjoyed
In both the nrniy and tho navy during
tho world wnr has led to decision by
tho Yale faculty to alloxv the organi

than heretofore. A boxing association
will bo formed and bouts xvlll be held
by tho undergraduate at tho different
weights.
It Is uncertain whether matches
xvlth representatlxes of other colleges
xvlll bo nlloxved or not, us tho sport
Is not organized uinoiig the Kastern
universities, but a plan which has been
discussed Is that of having txvo or
three-round bouts as Inlet mission
events during tho winter season. For
Instance, If a Yule-Princeton basket
ball game Is scheduled, It has been
suggested that, during the Intermis
sion, a three-round bout might bo held
